On the 9th of December my Christmas Short:Angels on Top, will be available at MLRPresshttp://www.mlrbooks.com if you haven't already been checking them out, there have been heaps of really good stories already out...WARNING!!! In some stories tissues will be needed, in others... DO NOT drink anything as it will end up being spit back up through laughing so much - that is all I am saying.

Angels On Top

Cousins, neighbours & stalkers - what more could a Christmas story need? So come and join my boys Marlowe & Angelo, and find out just what life has in store for them.

I recently saw this elsewhere and I thought I would share it with you, seeing as it seems to be the biggest topic to date in our writing/reading community... This mum is just the greatest in my eyes. So please take the time to read it and really listen to what is being said and how she describes just how her son feels. I just wish more people in the world saw things like this.

This is still a work in progress so forgive all typo's and crappy punctuation... This is a little snippet from chapter two... this story is for Nano is called Watson Falls 1: Between One Heartbeat & The Next... it will be a spin-off from my Pack Matters series.

SNIPPET

“Amara! Enough!”
Ryan stood up and yelled into the room. “This is neither the time nor the place
for this discussion. We will talk about this after our guests leave.”

“You mean the
humans?” Amara sneered “It seems your siblings have already claimed two of
them… who cares if the rest of that family knows? Everyone else here is pack…
My Pack!”

Ryan slowly
stalked across the room and snarled right into her face. “My Pack.” Stepping
back he undid his shirt and pulled the medallion out of his shirt. “Is this
what you were looking for?” Amara lunged for his throat and Liam stepped
forward and backhanded her.

Ryan turned to
Claire and Erik who were both huddled on the couch stunned. His gaze shifted to
Eli, who clung to Zane.

“I already know,”
Eli said softly, “Zane told me what he was when we first met. He wanted no
secrets between us.”

Ryan nodded, “Do
you know that if he completes the mating, claiming you as his fated mate, then
it might hasten your road to recovery?”

“He’s not broken,”
Zane said defensively.

“No he isn’t, I
apologise.” Ryan smiled. “Nor is he completely well, I only say this because
even I can feel him growing weaker.” Ryan turned back to Claire and Erik. “I am
sorry that you had to find out this way. I would have preferred to tell you in
my own way. But as you can see circumstances prevented that from happening… if
you choose to stay you are more them welcome, if you choose to leave we will
not stop you but know that you are now the keeper of our secrets. Should you
betray us, you will be dealt with accordingly. Do I make myself clear?”

“Crystal,” Erik
glared at Zane, “how could you not tell me that you are a fucking shifter… with
the word pack thrown around I would guess Werewolf? I was your best friend –
why didn’t you tell me?”

Zane shrugged, “It
is forbidden.”

“But you told
Eli?”

Zane nodded and
smiled. “I could tell him because he is my mate… now do you see? I never wanted
you because my wolf had already decided on Eli, even way back then when I was
just discovering myself, my wolf already knew that we belonged to Eli.”

“I’m sorry.”

“Alpha, you’re the
new Alpha?” A smile played over Claire Bailey’s face.

Ryan turned and
stared at Claire. “You know about the pack?”

Claire nodded, “My
father belonged to Ma-Ma Creek Pack.” She quickly added. “I was never able to
shift. So far none of my kids have been able to shift either. Adam decided that
if I lived within pack grounds I was not to tell my husband who was human or my
children about our kind. As he considered me of no worth to the pack.” A tear
rolled down her cheek. “Five years ago, he killed my Simon as retribution for
what happened between Zane and Eli.”

“Adam killed
Simon?” grandma asked horrified.

“No, he had Soren
do it.” She looked straight at Amara. “Your father is a murderer.”

“But if Eli is
part wolf then how did he succumb to his anorexia?” Grandma was truly baffled.

“Because there
shifter gene’s seem to be dormant.”

“But that doesn’t
explain why?”

When Claire looked
at Grandma Ryan said. “Grandma is our medicine woman she heals us and tends to
our needs.”

Ryan cleared his
throat and turned back to the group, Amara was standing between Liam O’Donnell
and Rhys Foster… they worked for the WFPD (Watson Falls Police Department) and
Ryan knew they would become his pack beta’s just by what had transpired here
today; even if he didn’t want to spend that much time in close proximity of the
reason he was forced to live outside his own pack.

The medallion lay
on his chest for all to see. “This was given to me by my father the day you all
forced me to leave the pack. He told me that this would be my proof that I am
the rightful Alpha of this pack.” Ryan let his power slowly roll over the room
at large. This was only a portion of the pack but each and every one of them
would tell someone else, who would tell someone else and so forth until the
entire pack knew what had transpired here today. He knew that challenges
wouldn’t be long in coming but he also knew that he was ready for each and
every one of them.

“But what to do
about you, Amara?” Ryan turned his whole attention on her. “You have harassed
my family - my sister and my brother – your Omega. You were caught stealing
from your just deceased Alpha and the Alpha mate. So what do you think should
happen to you?” he walked up until they were toe to toe. “Why should I let you
live?”

The lead singer nearly fell off the stage at soundwave while singing this song, so I thought I would share this with you all. Mum has given me a week on her blog to post music... so you get to put up with my stuff...

A friend made this and I think you should all just take the time and really think about what is the right thing to do... Any Aussie politicians that see this I hope to God that you actually ask the general public what they want before you all decide what is best for us as a whole. Because in fact most of us believe in the rights for LGBT people to have the same opportunities as the rest of us... Oh and if anyone is in the Know with the Queen tell her to pull her finger out and do the right thing - Equality for All ... NEWS FLASH!!! God created everyone - not just the straight people.

My Christian, and even my Doyle are two characters that just wish that they could dance like this. The closest they come is some form of crazy dancing that becomes the rage in my series The Lines OF Marsden.

Anyway a friend sent me this so I thought I would share it as It fascinated me to no end. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

I just wanted to share - this is a rough mock up of the cover for the first book in The Lines Of Marsden series. Doesn't Michael Marsden look beautiful? I truly cannot wait to see the finished product. I am so excited I have been snoopy dancing since this rough arrived... there will be some minor changes between this and the real cover.

On another note I signed the contract for my short Christmas story: Angels on Top. with MLRPress. I am not sure how much I am allowed to say about it, but I hope that everyone that reads it will like it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

I am still working on my NaNoWriMo and it is slow going but I am determined to get my 50K written by the end of the month. I will not let the boys in Watson Falls down.

I am working on changing my NaNoWriMo story as it just wasn't working I had to go back and shifter-fy it... I feel more comfortable writing paranormal books... I have kept the same basic story line but now I can sink my teeth (or canines if you will) into it and start writing again.

I have decided that Sentinel Dominic's mate in Sentinels of Varnuse 2: Wind Walkers, will be Nico and he will be a bird shifter... you will still get to hear about Quin & Bray and Vayne & Arron's quest for Simian... I promise not to leave you all hanging.

Well I know I have missed another couple of days... but sad to say my brother in-law passed away... I guess he is in a better place where there is no pain. It was sad to see him finally go and my heart goes out to his four children.

So for the past three days I haven't really written anything but after this Thursday I should be back on track with everything... Though I don't mind telling you all I am worried about my NaNoWriMo novel... I am not sure if it is going in the direction that I want it to. I will stick with it for a bit and see what happens.

I emailed my editor today to find out what is happening with TLOM. To be honest I am getting fed up with waiting. It's is more frustrating that my editor and I never seem to connect... she is awesome, but if it isn't something going wrong on her end then it is going wrong on mine... Sometimes I think I just can't win... LMAO - Isn't that always the way. Though, as soon as I do hear what is going on I will let you all know.

Tim Rogers and You Am I were absolutely awesome even if my hubs and daughter didn't know who they were... We bought some merchandise & the guy behind the counter goes... "You do realise this is just the starter band?" I was like, "Dude I came to see these guys." No one even selling the merchandise knew who the hell You Am I even were. This is one of their most listened to songs it is off their 4th album.

This is the other band we saw Cold Chisel is one of our legendary rock bands. They are a little older but fricken hell they sound exactly the same Jimmy Barnes & Ian Moss only seem to get better with age. The only downer on the night for me besides having a sore back, is that they never sang "Working Class Man," how could they skip one of their most famous songs?

Well I have missed a couple of days due to I threw my back out and was in too much pain to concentrate... but I am back now.

Well I joined NaNoWriMo as you all know and I have started on my story... I have titled it Watson Falls 1: Between One Heartbeat & The Next. because once I started writing this I thought NJ there is a series in this idea... so we will just have to see how it all pans out.

I am off to the Cold Chisel concert in Brisbane tonight and I just got uber excited when I read that You Am I are their opening act... Two awesome Aussie bands.

I have decided that the next post of WTWCTD will be the last for that blog story... but don't worry the boys will still be around as I am just moving onto the first branch of the other shifters that I mentioned... I have all those Sentinels to mate off before I can end it completely.
